And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along.
14And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: for into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host.

God a Spirit helped Daniel the Seer where truth makes the king worship him. "The great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure./ Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel(Dan.2:45-46)",In the case of Simon Peter who interpreted his vision but the men sent by the centurion? "While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee./Arise therefore, and get thee down,
